Sage Drive for Sage Accounts v24

Question

We have Sage accounts installed at 2 sites. 
 One has been updated day to day with transactions. 
 The other is held by the bookkeeper, which they use to produce accounts, and tax.. This is updated from time to time by the 1st user giving the bookkeeper her USB, and then bookkeeper restoring their copy of Sage Accounts. 
 With the lockdown this method is not possible. 
 We want to install SageDrive. 
 However, my question is, "How can we ensure that the day to day update is installed on the bookkeepers Sage,and not corrupted by their previous version ."? 
 Is the answer that the installation should be initiated on the computer with the day to day transactions from their file menu not by the bookkeeper on their computer.?

Hi John, 
 If you only have a one company licence you have two options. 
 Option 1 - Purchase multi company licence which will give you the flexibility to have more than one company listed at a time. 
 Option 2 - Add new company over the top of the current one listed. 
 I would do Option 2, unless you want the ability to be able to have more than one company going forward. In that case contact our Sales team. 
 
 Option 2 involves doing the following at the remote machine (the one you want to become the remote site). 
 
 On the select company window, select the existing company. 
 Click on Open Folder Location at the top. File explorer pops up where you see a list of folders including ACCDATA. 
 Close down Sage 
 Rename ACCDATA to ACCDATA.old . 
 Create a new folder and name it ACCDATA . 
 Open up Sage again, and now on the select company window instead of your company it will say ***NO DATA FOUND*** 
 Double click on the ***NO DATA FOUND***, and it will prompt you to create a company, where you can then select Connect to data via Sage Drive which you were trying to get to originally. 
 
 I hope this helps.
